Los Angeles Grandmother Stabbed In Home

Posted By Los Angeles Criminal Defense Lawyer || 8-Dec-2011

On Tuesday November 29th, an eighty-nine-year-old grandmother was stabbed and killed in her home
in South Los Angeles. After authorities were called, she was taken to
a local hospital where she died soon after. Her grandson, aged forty-two,
is said to be a suspect. After the murder, he blockaded himself in a nearby
home near Manual Arts Senior High School. The grandson lived with his
mother and grandmother and is said to have a history of drug problems.
His sister, A.R., thinks he may have been hallucinating. He apparently
picked up a broom and stabbed her in the chest and then told his mother
that he had been shot in the head. By 6 PM that day, the grandson had
been apprehended and taken into custody.

Murder is one of the most serious charges you could be facing. First degree murder
is killing someone purposefully, with premeditated aforethought. Second
degree murder is killing a person without premeditation but out of anger.
